I don’t like the Tommy storyline, I just find it weird all this bullying going on between primary school children and none actually picking up on it. If any of the children in the school I’m training in was being bullied it’d be pick up on immediately. I’d rather they’d give the screen time to someone like Keegan.

same! i also just find it dull to watch - preteen angst and bullying just isn’t what i watch ee for 🤣 i get that they probably want to include the younger characters more as some of them are invisible but he could have a better storyline than this.

he’s also had so many opportunities to tell kat what’s up, and it’s also just not believable that she hasn’t noticed something is wrong. or any of the other hundred people be shares a house with!
 
I don't mind having kids story lines. Ben had some great ones. But the kids nees to be able to act. Tommy, Mac and Meea are just awful. Mac and Meea shouldn't be given lines they ruin the scene.
 
Why didn’t Tommy just say??? All he had to do was say that the other boys were going to nick the cash tin! I refuse to feel sorry for the boy when he’s being so sulky and not saying why.

Stupid script writing.


This is what happens in real life... I think it's being very realistic and may make parents look a bit deeper to their childs behaviour change. Kat could've asked Billy to look at the cctv in one of the nearby shops to see if Tommy telling was the truth about the money. There are so many kids like Tommy suffering in silence but scared something will happen to them.
There is social media now that makes things worse.
It's not stupid script writing because it happened to my son. I only found out when the school told me. This was because everything is filmed now. I can't go into all the details. When I look back and know my son was punnished for things that he hadn't done.
The Tommy stuff does upset me because he doesn't know how to stop the bullying. It's very easy to say why doesn't who this or that. He doesn't know if telling will lead to him getting more bullied.

ffs lmao
 
How could Jean stand by and watch Tommy being accused by his mum? I am starting to dislike her. Also is Tommy still in Primary School? If so, how is he bunking off? Keegan torching the van needed to happen for healing the hurt. Also I know it’s necessary but can Shirley not cry and talk anymore? And Mick looks like he’s yo-yoing a turd, or he’s smelling the fart acting ala Joey Tribbiani.
 
The uniform looks like a primary school one. I’d imagine he’s in year 6 as we’ve seen him walking to school alone a fair bit and most primary schools only allow that from year 6 with parental permission, sometimes year 5.

Jean obviously having a manic episode, not an excuse but a reason. Was awful what she did to Tommy. A more balanced and well Jean would never have stolen the money from Kat in the first place.
 

It feels strange seeing the old set that created so many memories being forgotten about and left to go to ruin.
 
Keegan was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually sad that he’s leaving now - I totally forgot. But I was really upset with what that weird Liam did in regards to stopping Keegan and Tiff from reuniting so hoping for a happy ending (even though I despise the fact he slept with monotone Dotty)
